Free Ways to Say, "I Love You"

Little Things That Make a Big Impact

One thing that my husband does that I absolutely adore, is that he’ll leave me an
occasional “I love you” note under one of my wind shield wipers. It’s
such a pleasant surprise that sometimes I like to return the favor.
It’s a cute memento that reminds a person how much you care about them and it does not even cost a dime.
Notes under wind shield wipers aren’t the only way to leave your
significant other a sweet surprise….

Here are a few other ideas…

If he packs a lunch for work, bake him something sweet and hide it
in his lunch box. When his lunch break comes around, both him and his
sweet tooth will thank you. As they say, a way to a man’s heart is
through his stomach.

Find or print a cute wallet sized picture of the two of you and put
it in his wallet when he’s not looking. Next time he opens that wallet,
he won’t be able to close it. Oh, and make sure it’s a picture where
both of you look great, men are sensitive about their image as well,
you know.

Buy some heart shaped Post It notes, and write something loving on
about 20 of them. Think about some of the places your man always goes
to, whether it’s the box of Cheez-Its or the remote control. Then just
have fun and start stickin’!

Got a Grocery list? Next time you’re writing up this weekly list,
add something a little out of the ordinary. Whether you want to add
something cute or sexy, he’s sure to take a second look! It’s just one
way to make Grocery shopping a little more enjoyable.

Snatch his cell phone when he’s not looking. In the category called
tools, you should find a schedule organizer. Type in a cute little
message and set it for a time he’ll have his phone on him. He’ll be
pleasantly surprised by all your clever tactics.

I think this is a very nice and positive thing to do to keep things
moving in a marriage. Many men and women feel left behind or left out
of the life of their spouse. I think that must be one of the loneliest
feelings, and something as simple as a note can really fix that
problem. Nothing is better than putting in 4 hours of an 8 hour day
and finding a little note from your wife in your lunch that makes you
feel like she is thinking about you right at that moment. It’s very
important to keep a relationship moving forward; it doesn’t just stop
at marriage.
